Palchys stated that he coordinated the 2020 protests from Minsk and wrote the plans for the first marches

I would like to explain everything to a large number of friends, acquaintances, and strangers who have given me tremendous support over the past 6 years.

Many of them do not know what exactly I was given 13 years for. Why I was judged alone. Why, after my release, I still haven't given a single interview.

In the video in this fragment, Romka tells the truth.

What he didn't say on TV, but said in my criminal case, is that I was the main coordinator of the very chat "XATA".

The plan to gather on August 9 near the Stele, the plans for the first 8 marches, the "Victory Plan," and practically every large text you read in NEXTA, "Belarus of the Brain," MKB, and so on – all of this was written by me or came predominantly from me. As did much, much more.

Including real-time ground coordination of the marches. We coordinated and planned actions WHILE BEING IN MINSK, so it was very amusing in prison to read about the role of the special services of the USA, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Lithuania, Germany, and the coordination of protests.

Particularly gifted individuals (from our side, by the way) even managed to attribute Russia to this. I'll disappoint you, guys, but no. Everything was much more prosaic. My feet were burning, and participants of the marches often mistook me for an undercover agent (my clothing style and mask on my face), which sometimes carried no less risks for me than meeting the KGB.

Naturally, besides me, other chat participants made huge efforts. And there were also many team chats of wonderful people, one might say "nobodies," who were doing fantastic things at that moment.

It is you, guys and girls, who will remain my heroes for life. Unfortunately, it's no longer possible to find and thank all of you, but at least I send you a battle greeting this way.

I can write about this because on September 16, John Cole took the last member of our group, Yauhen Yushkevich, a former investigator and IT specialist, out of Belarus. While he was there, I remained silent. Just as almost everyone who knew about my role remained silent during my imprisonment.

Therefore, after my release, it was very funny to observe the actions of some characters who tried in every possible way to hype up and share the laurels of 2020, even though they were not even close to these processes.

Someone even managed to write books and go on tour with them. My advice to them is to start calming down and be a little more modest.

And I am also currently silent about the actions of some well-known figures during critical moments of 2020. Because I respect them as political prisoners and do not want to cause squabbles and strong reactions. For now.

I apologize to all journalists and media for ignoring them all this time. And thank you that some of you remained silent, knowing everything.

I hope that soon I will start telling you something little by little. Belarusians do not know their modern political history well – we will try to rectify this somehow.
